Game Notes

Below are the notes I've been keeping about the game. I will update periodically as new things are found. This information was obtained from various posts at http://forums.steinitzpuzzlers.com/index.php?act=idx
As well as general information provided from ingame websites.

5. Buy Marlene a birthday gift. (date 11/22/1920 provided by Marlene on forums.

The first 4 clues above were used by Peter to find the first urn. The 5th clue could be used to find the final urn or is just the PM's way of telling us that 11/22 is an important date. The contest for the 3rd urn begins on 11/22.

The following clues HAVE been used by Peter, Mike and Nat to find the 2nd urn:

1. Oakland anagram of (OK DNA LA)
2. Shape of Nebraska on 1st urn.
3. Troll Stroll, Nebraska anagram of (LOST TERROR BLANKS ALL)
4. First Street (Rot of ILUVW VWUHHW)

The above 4 clues were used to locate a place to dig in Oakland, NE. Found buried was a red purse shaped like a herring with a "pi" coin and a note that read "The end is near, but not here, head for two rivers with your scuba gear." Peter, Mike, and Nat are at the non existant confluence of the Little Sioux and Iowa Rivers, where they believe the 2nd urn will be found.
